Chapter 13 Lecture Finale

Had a few people missing last night (Penny, Debye, Julie, Tami) but the crowd that was there were animated. Started off by talking about the stock market which led to buying or selling stock. Discussed IPO's and reasons companies sell stock. Max gave us all a hot stock tip. I followed up with the best stock tip I know which is "buy low, sell high". Discussed stocks, mutual funds, broad based index funds, etc. Probably went off on a few too many tangets but everyone seemed to follow along easily enough.

Discussed declaring dividends, paying dividends to preferred and common stockholders.

Nikki used her extreme faith and prayers to have the computer turn off. She tried to pass it as a sign that we should be done however after a quick reboot we were back in business.

Found out Mary-Liz lives up in 10 Lakes by Eureka and has a 2 hour drive to get home at night. Now that's dedication. I better make sure class is worth all that driving. Iyrna works at a bank. Tune is one of the Semitool surviors (for now). Josh is an appraiser.

Finished (almost) the lecture for chapter 13. Will go over homework in the next class.
